Today I learned just how conspicuous one can feel buying a dozen roses, and then finding that the backpack you brought is actually to small for them to fit in entirely, so it's acting more like a back-vase, and then having to ride one's bicycle home 6 miles on a busy road. Huh.

The politics student is flighty: on Mondays, they can be found waxing lyrical about the need for gender-neutral toilets, lower taxes and boycotting non-Fairtrade products in the library café.

Although they argue a lot in seminars, lefties and Tories tend to sleep with each other a lot.'
